Maria Fung is a Singaporean graphic and web designer based in London. She graduated with a BA (Hons) Graphic Design from the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, one of UK's leading creative universities.

She has worked for the popular annual Sonic Music Festival in Singapore, and at some of UK's top creative agencies like The Design Conspiracy and Stylorouge, where she collaborated with the team to design for musician David Gilmour.

Her clients include leading sports and entertainment giant AEG, which owns London’s O2 Arena, the NHS and Royal Holloway, University of London.

In December 2006 and 2007, Fung was one of the 30 students selected to showcase their video works at the ODEON cinema, Maidstone.

She has been featured on Creative [SIN]ergy and Culturepush.

Fung loves experimenting and building her artworks from pixels and recycled materials, misses Singaporean food, enjoys cooking, loves dogs, wishes that people will know that graphic design is more than just computers, and that Singapore is NOT in China.
